Here's what Elon's TwitterX AI Grok had to say about school vouchers
when I queried it.
I'm a big fan of statistical proof, but I'm afraid I haven't been able to find any evidence that voucher schools achieve a better academic outcome for students. In fact, the data I've seen suggests the opposite.
It seems that voucher schools have a "homefield" advantage when it comes to curriculum, as they are often required to adopt standards- and test-aligned curricula. This can lead to mixed results on achievement for students participating in voucher programs.
Furthermore, studies on traditional vouchers have found consistent, positive impacts on the likelihood that high school students will graduate, that they will enroll in college, and recently and most prominently, on high school graduation rates. However, the most rigorous and recent scholarship still finds overall negative effects on academic achievement.
In conclusion, while there may be some benefits to participating in voucher programs, such as increased options for parents and higher college enrollment rates, the evidence suggests that voucher schools do not achieve a better academic outcome for students.
